Perfect Family Vacation

This house was just perfect for our multi family vacation. We had children ages 5, 3, and 2 years old, and they had so much fun. The playroom inside was perfect and the kids loved the outdoor fun. The kitchen had everything we needed to make at home meals for 8 people. It exceeded our expectations and made it a very memorable trip.

Family and friends graduation celebration

We gathered to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. The property is spacious and grand. It is an older farmhouse with lots of character and lots of privacy. The owner was friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities especially the outdoor space with the fire pit, volleyball court, and grill. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely Beautiful!

This home was perfect for our large family with five children under the age of four. The indoor play room and outside play areas kept them happily occupied for hours. We enjoyed the outdoor areas especially in the evenings as we sat around the nice fire pit. The home is older and is showing some wear but we’d stay here again in the future for sure! It feels like a true home and is decorated beautifully. It was very clean and had all sorts of extras in case we forgot anything. Thank you for the use of this amazing property!

Small Company Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! We had a small company retreat and there were enough rooms for our team - each very comfortable. Beyond being a stunning home, there is so much to do, from the hot tub. pool table to the gorgeous outdoor space. It would be perfect for a large family gathering - I am noting that for future as there are lots of amenities for children.

Amazing home great for my large family!

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. From the moment my family of 19 arrived they were in awe at how big and nice the home was. There were so many things to do at the home itself, from zip line and the in ground trampoline, to laying in the hammock or relaxing in the hot tub. The town was lovely with plenty of places to sightsee. We will definitely try to come back and stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful for family gathering.

The location is beautiful as is the home. It is perfect for a family gathering. We enjoyed the large patio and the volleyball net and hot tub. Outdoor fireplace was great. The big tables in the kitchen and dining rooms were perfect for family games. All beds were very comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms. Let the owner know ahead of time how much refrigerator space you will need so they can make room. The owner was very helpful with suggestions and responded quickly to all questions. We had a great stay!

Best Vacation Rental Ever!

This was a wonderful and fun house and beautiful property for our annual family vacation. The bedroom/bathroom arrangement was the best we've ever had. We used all 8 bedrooms, plus there was still a twin/trundle in the playroom and a sleeping loft upstairs that weren't used. The house was just as it was described on the VRBO listing, very spacious and beautiful. Of course, the zipline, trampoline, and spa were a big hit with every age. The main floor kitchen/pantry was extremely well-stocked, and there were plenty of towels available throughout the entire house. Susanne, the owner, was available and responsive to any questions we had.

Beautiful Location

The location was absolutely beautiful! The owners were extremely helpful and on-site a lot! They made sure that things were cleaned. The only problem was the spa jacuzzi it wasn’t working properly and wasn’t usable. We reported to owners and they tried to attend to it but I think maintenance was needed. Other than that there were no other issues. We were able to zip line on the property! We had a blast! Some cooking supplies were provided for us. Wonderful stay!

This house is amazing!

Went to Colorado Springs for our son's wedding; we had family and friends stay with us. Two of the nights there were 14 people at the house. Susanne Hoffman, owner, is wonderful; even met her son Ben who was also wonderful. There are 8+ rooms with beds. House is fully stocked with everything you could require, other than food, of course. Very clean home. Very welcoming, we all felt so comfortable there. On the property (5 acres) there is a zip line for the kids, trampoline, playset, the hot tub/infinity pool. Beautiful experience,, we highly recomment this home.

Great Family Vacation

My family of adult children, with children of their own, have not taken a family vacation together since 2011. This year we chose the Colorado Farmhouse as our getaway accommodations. The home and furnishings were perfectly lovely. The house provided us with more than enough private space that we never felt like we were on top of each other. However, it also had plenty of public areas for us to sit around and share meals, have evening drinks around the fire pit, and on the most basic level enjoy each other’s company. The kids loved all the outdoor activities that the grounds provided, by far their favorite thing to do was the zipline. This house made the perfect backdrop for our family vacation and is undoubtedly a fixture in some of the memories made while exploring Colorado with my grandchildren.

Amazing Colorado Farmhouse

We stayed at this amazing property from July 3-8 2019. The pictures don't even do it justice. We had a total of 3 families (14 people total) stay and there was more than enough room for more. The home has so many amenities.. If we had left it up to the kids, they would have stayed at the house the whole time. The home was very clean, organized, and beyond beautiful. The homeowners were very fast responding to any questions we had. Everything was labeled and very easy to find what we needed. They had everything you could ask for available for use. By far the best property we have every rented. We didn't want to leave! Hopefully one day soon we will be back. Worth every penny! Lots of memories made at this beautiful property!

Fantastic place to stay near Colorado Springs!

We visited with a couple of our children and grandchildren. We decided to stay at this house and loved it! The house was beautifully situated on a partially wooded lot with so many fun outdoor activities including the zipline, in ground trampoline and great swing/slide structure. Our granddaughter had a blast! The outdoor seating area gave us the opportunity to eat outside and just relax. The house was well appointed and beautifully furnished. Our grandchildren used the playroom every day. The bedrooms were spacious as were the bathrooms. The first day we had difficulty with the lock and called Susanne. She came right over and explained how to use it. She was very helpful throughout our stay and had good recommendations for activities for our family during our stay. Another great part of the house is the location. Only a little over an hour from Denver airport and close to shopping and many attractions. We will definitely be back.

Week in Paradise

We have been getting together once a year with our whole family who come from all over the US, both coasts and even overseas. The photographs do not do it justice. The home is so very comfortable with many different nooks and private places to enjoy the beautiful Colorado scenery and weather. The bedrooms were furnished so comfortably and designed in such a cozy fashion. There is enough space for the whole family to enjoy meals all together, gather around the fire to roast marshmallows or laugh together once the littles have gone to bed. We grilled on the grill, smoked some meats in the smoker, made fresh pasta in the beautiful kitchen. And all worked together to prepare our family meals. It was a magical week for us as we celebrated the anniversary of our grandfather‘s passing 2 1/2 years ago. We know he was with us in spirit and would have loved this gorgeous home! Susanne was such an easy person to work with. I hope to be able to come back again soon!

Lovely home...with caveats

We enjoyed our week here with a large family! Plenty of space for everyone and fun surprises like the zipline. We also enjoyed the neighborhood trails! However, not everything was kept up to par with regard to repairs and kitchen appliances for a crowd (no large griddle, crockpots, only 1 coffee pot worked, only 1 fridge was available for guest use upstairs and 2 total, instead of the 3 listed, etc.). We were apparently staying after another party that was very rough on the house. The first several days were spent resolving issues such as a broken bed and microwave, malfunctioning doors, locks, and faucets. The owners and property manager were very quick to replace and take care of what we needed, just wish the maintenance hadn't had to happen while we were guests. Definitely detracted from our stay!

A Wonderful and White Christmas!

We just completed a week stay over Christmas break at this wonderful home in Black Forest. The house is as seen in the pictures and very nice. It is a renovated early 1900's Farmhouse so it has both modern and vintage elements - which made for a nice and cozy stay. We had snow and they had sleds and stuff so we could enjoy the back hill. There's so much to do that we couldn't use all the amenities in the time we were there but our family loved the zipline, outdoor activities, Jacuzzi (yes we ALL fit too) and ample room to play games or just relax. The greatest thing is that this is truly a house that can handle big families. We thought it might be tight like other VRBO's that say they can sleep lots of people but we actually had bedrooms we didn't use - and that's with 9 adults and 5 children! Christmas there was both wonderful and magical. Our family loved every bit of it. We were there with the crazy -15 arctic weather - which can sometimes cause problems in a home but the owners jumped all over things to make sure everything went well and took care of everything we needed and very fast! So - nice house, very attentive and kind owners, and great location only 10 minutes outside Colorado Springs yet feels like a world away! I would highly recommend this home to those with large families, those that like peace and quiet, those that love nature - deer everywhere, those that want to get outside to do things and those that want lots of house space so you can find your own quiet area as well. It was a great vacation :)

Just Perfect

Wonderful. Wanted to give you any thing we found that you might want to address. • Gas fireplace in the living room off kitchen couldn’t start. Said key wouldn’t turn. • The gas tower heater out kitchen door could not get started. • When I tried to open door from “Toy Room” to front of house, the handle came off in my hand. • Didn’t realize until I re-read the instructions about broken items. We lost 2 champagne flutes in dishwasher – stem broke. Didn’t “save them” per your book instructions. • Door to Toy Room was wide open when we arrived. Already told you that on phone. • Though we were able to use garage for cars? Tried to open large door – ceiling motor ran but door did not rise – chain drive disconnected from door? • All signed waivers and put under mat in front as instructed for pickup next morning. Still there at checkout. Jim

Why they chose this property

This property is special because it is so private and surrounded by beautiful nature. It sits back on the 5 acre lot, and there are 20 acres of ponderosa pines around it. There are trails in Black Forest park which you can access at Holmes and Vessey Road, and are beautiful but also very safe and easy to navigate because of signs and a neighborhood they wind through called Cathedral Pines. It is a 4 mile loop. If you want to experience a 5 star hotel feeling in the mountains, but close to shops and great restaurants, this is the place for you.
